Despite the not-so-friendly skies outside, Sec. Susan Kluttz joined a large crowd of people from 13 different states to dedicate a new museum to banjo innovator Earl Scruggs in Shelby in early January.
Last week, Sec. Kluttz joined Governor Pat McCrory, Lt. Gov. Dan Forest, the Cabinet and fellow State employees for a service of reflection, music and celebration honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. at First Baptist Church on Salisbury Street in Raleigh.
“Mayor. Pat. I want you to be my secretary of cultural resources.”
Though the weather outside was frightful, that didn’t stop Sec. Susan Kluttz from joining a record crowd at Tryon Palace’s delightful Christmas Candlelight event Saturday evening.
